A New Destiny
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Sega of America, Team Sonic, MGM nor anything else associated with either franchise mentioned within. The only thing that I own is the name Kerra. It is mine and if anyone steals it I will not hesitate to get creative on the torture. Also I do not own the original idea for the Mjolnir armor, that belongs to Microsoft and Bungie. That's how Tails got the idea for her own version of it.
Chapter 8
An Interesting Turn of Events
SG-1 and the Freedom Fighters were walking towards the mess hall of the Odyssey after ensuring that the Mobius Stargate was securely stored in the cargo hold.
That is until a well meaning lieutenant came barreling down the corridor to tell them the ship's commander wanted them on the bridge.
"Sir, I could really use some chow, so with all due respect, why the hell did you interrupt dinner?" Kerra asked as she walked onto the bridge with one of her eyebrows twitching slightly from a combination of annoyance and hunger.
"Well Major, we've reached our destination and I figured you could tell me why there are two transports and what appears to be a Black Hawk gunship sitting in front of your residence." The Odyssey's CO said pointing to one of the view screens on the bridge.
"Oh, well in that case let me see." Kerra said as she looked over the video feed. "Well, aint that just peachy keen." She said after a couple of minutes.
"What is it Major?"
"Well, sir one transport belongs to the Kingdom of Acorn; Sally, I'll leave you to deal with them. The other belongs to the Brotherhood of Guardians; Knuckles that's your arena, not mine. The helo on the other hand is my arena. That belongs to the paramilitary organization known as the Guardian Unit of Nations. Basically they're trying to take over the world but in an extremely covert manner. Most likely they have brought the human president here. Can you do a scan of the house? I'd like to see if there is anyone inside." The vulpine soldier replied.
"Why is that Major Prower?" Teal'c asked.
"Because, If there are numerous heat sources in the house that are biological in nature then that would mean that the president is inside the house as well as the Acorn and Echidna councils. If that is indeed the case then I plan on sending a Jackhammer into that helo and shaking them up."
"Who do you plan on shaking up?"
"The G.U.N. Show them that they can't rule the world anymore than the Goauld can rule the galaxy."
"Ma'am I show a dozen heat sources that are biological in nature."
"Thank you ell-tee. Well, it looks like its fun time."
With that Kerra left the bridge to head to the armory to retrieve her weapon of choice. Then grabbing and donning her helmet, she activated one of Odyssey's ring transports and dropped to the surface. Upon reaching the ground she fired both missiles in rapid succession into the helo hitting the fuel tanks, causing the aviation grade kerosene to go up rather spectacularly. (A/N: From personal experience I happen to know that JP-8 can make a rather big boom when it is in a small space when a shape charge penetrator hits the tanks.)
The resulting explosion had the desired effect. The soldiers that were standing guard scattered and ran for cover. Kerra merely chuckled to herself as she reloaded her launcher before proceeding inside her house.
Back on the Odyssey
"Well that was an interesting negotiating technique." Daniel said as the group watched the vulpine super soldier in action.
"Yeah, well let's hope she doesn't kill anyone in the negotiations." Jack replied with his normal sarcastic tone.
In Kerra's workshop
Kerra attached her launcher to her suit's backpack as she approached her front door. Upon reaching it, the door was flung open and a burst from a sub machine gun hit her suit's energy shields causing her to rock back slightly from the impact. Sighing, Kerra looked at the stunned G.U.N. soldier before hitting the top of his helmet with the ball of her hand, causing him to crumple to the floor, unconscious.
"Well, that would normally buy someone a one way ticket to the Pearly Gates. However I'm running a special on restraint today, so please don't test my patience. Now tell me what the hell you are doing in my lab uninvited and with a squad of inept and trigger happy soldiers." Kerra said as she removed her helmet.
"Tails, is that really you?" Asked a male squirrel chipmunk hybrid.
"Yes it is your highness. Your sister is on a ship that came to support my team and I. As is your son Locke" Kerra said as she addressed King Elias Acorn and the former guardian of the Master Emerald.
"Thank you Tails. I was wondering where that boy got off to when Angel Island fell from the sky." Locke replied rolling his eyes.
Kerra preformed the same eye roll as she keyed her radio. "Odyssey this is Prower. Can you put Knuckles on please?"
"Sure thing Major." Came the reply before Knuckles' voice came over the radio.
"What's up Tails?"
"Did you shrink the Master Emerald down to its bite size form again without telling your dad?"
"Ummm… maybe."
"You Knucklehead." Kerra replied cutting the transmission.
"Well now we know where the Master Emerald went off to. Now as to why you guys are here?" She said turning back to the dignitaries in her living room.
"Well it all started with a call from the President here." Elias said gesturing to the older human male sitting in one of the armchairs.
"Don't tell me, You picked up the nuke I set off to save the world right?"
"Well our satellites did pick up a small nuclear detonation as well as several secondary explosions." The president replied.
"Well it was only a 15 kiloton tactical device. Those secondary blasts were probably the power plant of the capital ship as well as any of the smaller fighters, bombers and transports." Kerra replied matter of factly.
Then the G.U.N commander spoke up. "What gives you the right to destroy that technology?" was as far as he got before Kerra interrupted him.
"General, I know what you people have done with the technology that you have captured from Robotnik. If you got your hands on Goauld tech, there is no telling the cataclysms that you would cause. I've been able to reverse engineer enough of the Goauld tech and with the help of a friendly alien race, I was able to iron problems with Earth's starship designs and improve the technology to where we could defend ourselves from planetary invasion. This has come very close to happening on at least three occasions that I was around for." Kerra said as she gave the general a glare that could reduce the most hardened Marine to tears if she really wanted to.
'Be that as it may, you still had no right to make such a decision on your own." The general said once he could get a word in.
"Actually, I am well within my rights due to the fact I am following orders from my own chain of command. Granted the use of a nuclear device was probably overkill, but I came here planning on making sure that Robotnik was taken out for good. Nothing better than a small nuke to do that." Kerra said with a slight smile on her face knowing she had won the argument. You can never get directly pissed at someone for following orders, even if their orders give them a large amount of leeway to choose the method of execution of the mission.
After the President and his aides calmed down the general, the group sat down and discussed whether they would allow Mobius to become a Beta Site for the SGC should the Earth fall to an alien threat.
A/N: Thanks for all the hits guys, but could you review as well. I'd appreciate the critiques and the compliments. As for the chapter being short, it appears that I have caught a cold so I really haven't felt up to doing much of anything lately. I'll update as soon as I start feeling better.
